Friday morning

Trying to work up his nerves enough to face Abby, McGee mentally fought with himself on whether or not to follow Tony's advice. He flipped out his phone to check the time at the same time it buzzed with a text message from Tony.

You can do it, Probie filled the screen and for some reason, Tony's reassurance helped him make a decision. He determinedly moved in to Abby's lab and shouted above the music, "Good morning, Abs!"

Spinning around, Abby sent her pigtails swinging and she cheerily replied, "Good morning, Tim!" She threw her arms around his neck and raised on her tippy toes for a hug.

Gladly returning the hug around her middle, McGee spoke up, "Uh, Abby I have a question."

Hearing his slightly shaky tone of voice, Abby stood still in front of him. She could tell he was serious about this question and calmed her daily excitement of seeing him to seriously listen to his question.

McGee remembered Tony's urging and continued on more confidently, "Would you like to go to dinner and a concert tomorrow with me?"

"Like on a date?" Abby asked crossing her fingers behind her back hoping she understood him right.

"Definitely like on a date." McGee tried to hide the happiness in his voice.

Excitement and disappointment flashed across Abby's face, " I would love to, but I told Ziva I would go to the premiere of Taken with her."

Struggling to keep his smile in place, he muttered, "I'll be right back." H e stopped around the corner and hastily texted Tony. She has the movie thing with Ziva tomorrow and I already bought concert tickets. I bet she really doesn't want to go.

Meanwhile, Abby was texting Ziva in panic that McGee would lose his confidence and feelings for her if she didn't accept his invitation. McGee asked me out!! But same time as movie with you?!

Abby hoped Ziva would understand and be able to find someone else because she had wanted Tim to ask her out again for a long time.

McGee reentered the lab and both of their cell phones buzzed. Tony had replied, relax Probie I'll figure it out.

Ziva responded, no big deal. I'll take someone else.

Abby and McGee focused on work while their coworkers devised a solution.

Bullpen

After both Tony and Ziva replied encouragingly to their friends, they rushed to show each other. First Tony said, "I was obviously correct in pushing McGee, but now I have to help Probie finish what I got him to start."

Ziva continued his thought, "Yes, Abby clearly wants to go so I told her to, but I bought my tickets already. They cost me an arm and a foot, but I really wanted to go." Ziva was disappointed to be going alone, but wanted Abby to join Tim.

Hatching another plan, tony took a deep breath trying to calm his sudden nerves. "It's an arm and a leg, Zee-vah."

"Still painfully a lot, yes?" Ziva puzzled over the English idiom.

"Yeah, uh Zi?" Tony questioned, but didn't wait for a reply. "I could escort you to the premiere so you don't waste a foot." He flinched waiting for some kind of a threat at his suggestion.

Hiding the sparking excitement inside her, Ziva said, "That would be a solution. Let's go tell Abby."

Following Ziva, Tony added, "And McGee."

Entering the lab, Ziva began, "Abby you may go with McGee. Tony has offered to go with me and use the ticket."

"And I love movies!" Tony enthused as Abby squealed. She wrapped her arms around McGee who mouthed, "Thank you" over Abby's head.

Tony smirked and followed Ziva to the elevator. His plan for getting Abby with McGee was working better than planned because not only were they going on a date ,but he got to take Ziva to the premiere.
